Overview

2

• Integrated Application Lifecycle Management(ALM) is a totally integrated set of tools and processes that help organizations manage the complete lifecycle of an application development.

• It connects different teams, activities, platforms, tools and processes.

• It spans from idea generation to the end of the application’s life.

What is Integrated ALM


• Point-To-Point Integrations Best-of-breed multi-vendor tools Handcrafted integration code between pair of tools Can not scale to more than a few tools

• Single Vendor All-In-One solutions All tools from a single vendor are pre-integrated Each integration is based on the vendor’s guideline of usage The vendor does all the integration Can not use best-of-breed tools Less control over integration rules

• ALM Integration Middleware Best-of-breed multi-vendor tools Adapters/connectors connect the tools to the middleware Customers can develop their own adapters with available open APIs Integration rules are defined by the customer

How Can We Implement Integrated ALM


Benefits of Integrated ALM


Data Visibility across Tools

See what are you missing

Traceability between Objects in

different Tools

Change Management andImpact Analysis

Process Automation across Tools

Implementing and Enforcing a Consistent processes

Dashboards & Reports across Tools

Real-time Metrics and KPI of related data from various tools

• Improve Quality Provides the right context for every stage of ALM Ensures code quality and performance throughout the lifecycle process.

Quality of work is validated at every stage and defects are caught during the process, instead of at the end of it.

Gain Greater Insight - What is the quality of the current release that we are working on? Which part is not stable yet? What are the corrective actions needed?

Enforces Best Practice Processes across tools and artifacts Overcomes challenges for Globally Distributed Development – keeps all

stakeholders synchronized Enables collaboration between stakeholders - How do I see my tasks and

work items from within my tool; update my progress status and finally complete those?

Provides real-time actionable metrics to take corrective actions Manages change with confidence; detects impacts on related artifacts

automatically and notifies the concerned stakeholders

How Does It Impact Quality


• How does it help in cross-tool reporting The integration middleware is aware of all events occurring in the tools The middleware should be able to capture the relevant data from the

connected tools An interface should be provided to create reports based on this data The reports and dashboards should automatically reflect the current data

coming in from the tools

• Benefits All the data are captured live from the systems of records Reports are based on real-time data coming directly from the tools No time wasted in manually aggregating data from multiple tools No scope for human error The reports are available anytime, anywhere through web access Allows managers to quickly identify the problem areas

Cross Tool Reporting


• Program Manager Rolled up reports across multiple projects

• Project Manager Live reports with aggregated data from all tools Exact status of different teams working on different areas Live actionable metrics for each phase

• Designer Changes in Requirements and Stories become immediately visible

• Developer Full Context (Upstream and Downstream) is available within IDE

Requirements, Stories, Design elements, Test Cases visible in IDE Changes in artifacts get reflected automatically

Changes in Requirements, Stories, Test Cases get reflected in IDE• Tester

Context should be available easily within Test Management tool Changes in artifacts get reflected automatically

Changes in Requirements, Stories, Code Files get reflected

How Does It Help in Project Execution



• Platform and Services for Integrating Multi-vendor Tools for a Unified Software Development Environment

Integrated View of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Tools Central Repository Tracking, Reporting and Dashboards

• Process Automation Process Automation across tool boundaries

• Integration Technology – Omnibus Integration Platform Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) based Enterprise Service Bus Connectors for all major tools in the market
